This article examines how schools in Hong Kong attempt to craft South Asian migrant students into desirable citizens and how the youths understand themselves as members of Hong Kong and of a global community. The contestation has to do both with how South Asians are viewed in Hong Kong and with how post‐colonial Hong Kong is related to China. The process of citizen‐making of transnational youths, I argue, is best understood at the local–national–global intersection.
